Pulled pork LOIN? "Pulling" suggestions

I have a question for you smokers out there. We just finished our food truck build and are looking to smoke pork loin and serve it was a sandwich. What have you found is the best way to "pull" the loin? We are looking into getting a Ro-man pork puller (porkpuller.com), as I know it works wonders with the butt, but Im not sure how it will work with the loin. Any suggestions? SAK

I think you would be more successful thin slicing the loin for the sandwich. In my experience loin is not pull friendly. Bone in boston butt should give the best yield . The Roman fork is fast & easy but you will have some stuff ( fat , gristle , etc ) to clean out of the meat .

You can chop a loin but you can't pull one. A loin sandwich is going to be much more expensive than one made from a butt or shoulder.

I do boston butts by shredding them with two forks. Just keep working at it until you have a big pile of meat, then douse it in your favorite sauce. I agree with most other posters here that loin is not the way to go for pulled pork.

I use rubber dipped cotton gloves I buy at the hardware store for a couple bucks a pair. They keep my fingers from being burned, yet still allow enough dexterity to pull the pork and pick out bits of fat and gristle.

I agree 100%, loin just doesn't pull. If you smoke a butt to perfection, it will pull with fingers just fine, fall apart wonderful!!

Yes, if it's a butt, and it's done perfectly, fingers are all that's needed, it will just about fall apart. A loin won't.

Slicing a loin is the best way to go for using just a loin. What I do is cook both loins or hams along with my shoulders, chop then, and blend the meat together. The result is a tasty BBQ that is ready for a good sauce.

To the original poster. This website seems to be full of the close-minded that know everything. Don't waste your time here. I won't anymore. There are other websites that are more welcoming.

Hate to see a thread die on such a sour note You sir, are the only poster in the thread wasting anyone's time. I thought everyone else made polite and positive comments. When everyone that responds says the same thing...it's just possible that at least some of them know what they are talking about. They are correct...you can't pull a pork loin.

I'm just happy to find a thread on here about food. At least I know where to go if I need information on how to build a food truck It's all good.........still plenty of interest here.
